Yes, we seriously brought an umbrella to the top of Mt. Fuji. This isn't a backdrop.
Yes, we're stupid.

I did some serious photoshop editing on this shot which, for me, is a step up from the usual Picasa.

Dodge/burning clouds
Selectively sharpening person and umbrella to different levels
Brightening umbrella

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out

I think the downside was that I would assume this to be a backdrop. If you had somehow shown a bit of the ground underneath her maybe?

An excellent image. Not sure what the background is... common sense says it can't be clouds, but I sure am willing to believe they are. Great job!

Great idea and good shot. The wind is wrong though - the umbrella is blowing right and her hair is blowing left. Oh, she must be in a whirlwind.

Okay, this one is funny. I don't normally like the super-processed images that take what I consider reality out of the equation, but the color choices and creative title help this one. Normally would get a 5 on my scale, but this one goes for a 7.

Very entertaining, nice colors and its as if she is in the clouds. Nicely done.

Very cute. I love her anguished expression, as she tries to hold onto the umbrella. I'm curious how you got the sky to be almost beneath her.
